Israel Rosh HaAyin Life is good when the Heart is green! Global Strategy of the SEAP The target of the SEAP implementation is to reduce the Carbon footprint of the Municipality with a reduction of 73,963.67 t CO2 eq by 2020, which is 20% of the municipality’s BAU total emissions. • The Municipality of Rosh HaAyin continuously improves the citizens’ quality of life, while consolidating the social and community structures. The newly planned neighbourhoods will be smart and applying advanced sustainable energy requirements. • The Mayor’s vision for the future of Rosh HaAyin is that of a city on the verge of unprecedented growth. The agglomeration is growing fast, a process bringing much development and refurbishment both to the existing neighbourhoods, and to the new areas that are being built. The Mayor’s plan foresees doubling of the city’s population in the coming years and to make Rosh HaAyin a Green City with Sustainability, Good Transportation and more, ensuring its citizens’ good quality of life. • During the SEAP implementation, the Municipality of Rosh HaAyin is going to work closely with the rest of the Israeli Municipalities that are members of the CoM, as well as the Tag HaSviva Programme and the respective Ministries. Like Ramla and Shfar’Am, the municipality has already undergone an extended adaptation of its administrative structures to support the SEAP’s implementation and to monitor the status of its progress. • The involvement of all citizens and stakeholders is considered crucial for achieving the set targets. The citizens are the most important resource for the city, especially to reach the GHG saving targets. In addition, and in all schools, several programs for GHG emission reduction are incorporated. The Ministry of National Infrastructures, Energy and Water Resources and the Ministry of Education have developed a program suitable for children from grades 1-9. This way all children will be taught about the importance of energy saving. The Baseline Emissions Inventory covered all the compulsory sectors and three optional sectors. The action plans include multiple interventions in the following areas: • Municipal Buildings / Equipment / Facilities; • Tertiary (non Municipal) Buildings / Equipment / Facilities; • Residential Buildings; • Public Lighting; • Transport (Municipal / Public / Private); • Industry; • Agriculture; • Solid Waste Treatment. Overall results of the Baseline Emissions Inventory (BEI) • Consuming Sectors: The tertiary sector contributes the most with an overall consumption of 33%, followed by the residential sector with 31% of the total energy consumptions and the transport sector (29%). • Emitting Sectors: Tertiary (42%), residential (31%) and transport (13%) are the sectors contributing the most in the greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore the main areas where actions should be realized. • Municipal assets’ emissions: The municipal buildings and the municipal lighting are contributing almost equally to the sector’s emissions, with a little lower than 50% each. It is along these axes that the municipality can implement exemplary actions in terms of GHG emission reduction. In addition, waste, although not directly under the municipal management, have high emissions and the municipality can take actions in this direction (e.g. further promotion of recycling). Actions and results • While several actions can only be approximated, the implementation of all actions is possible to achieve by 2020 a 20.0% reduction in GHG emissions compared to the baseline scenario. • otal emissions avoided based alone on the actions included in the plan are 73.964 t CO2 eq / year.

Israel Shfar’Am Let’s make it cleaner and greener! Global Strategy of the SEAP The total target of the SEAP implementation is to reduce the Carbon footprint of the Municipality with a total reduction of 27,705.27 tn CO2 by 2020, which is 20% of the municipality’s total emissions. • Part of the vision of the SEAP for a cleaner environment and a better overall status of the Municipality of Shfar’ Am are the creation of better parking infrastructure, development of the public transport. reduction of environmental burden and better waste management. Local leaders have started to implement the waste management program, with waste separation of plastic, paper and cardboard, as well as the designation of an area for treatment of plant cuttings that can be treated within city borders for uses such as earth covering and heating, all would be in complementarity with the SEAP actions working on the infrastructure, urban services and energy is also related to the local authorities’ intend to render Shfar’Am as a tourist center, due to its many archaeological sites, for both Israeli and foreign tourists. • The Mayor of Shfar’Am sees the opportunity of the CoM as his mission to be a leader to the general public, but especially to the Palestinian citizens of Israel. It should be noted that Shfar’Am is the first Arab city to commit to the CoM and among the few Arab ones participating in the Tag HaSviva Programme. • During the SEAP implementation, the municipality is going to work closely with other municipalities that are members of the CoM, as well as other programmes and the respective Ministries. Like Ramla, the municipal administration has already implemented an extended adaptation of its administrative structures to support the SEAP implementation and to monitor its status. • The SEAP indicate that the participation and partnership with the population and stakeholders is considered primordial for achieving the set targets. Women volunteer groups and students are expected to play an important role for the accomplishment of the proposed actions. The role of families who are about to be settled in a newly built area is significant, because the new neighbourhood would be built applying sustainability and resource management regulations. • Residential Buildings; • Public Lighting; • Transport (Municipal / Public / Private); • Industry; • Agriculture; • Solid Waste Treatment.
